The Sweet Life
The Indian way of hosting
Guests arrive. Someone brings water. Someone asks about tea. And almost always — someone opens the mithai box.
Because in India, something sweet comes before everything else.

Fine boondi, bound while warm. The laddoo that disappears from the box first because everyone takes two.

Besan laddoo
Slow-roasted gram flour, nothing hiding behind syrup. Harder to get right, and the one the elders check.
